<pre>chunkresetscheduler.json</pre>

<pre>{ "EnableReset": true, "ChunkResets": [ { "Name": "Spawn Mine", "ChunkX": 0, "ChunkZ": 0, "Radius": 3, "ResetEveryXDays": 7, "ResetAtHour": 3, "ResetAtMinute": 30 } ] }</pre>

Field Explanation

• Name &ndash; Display name used in warnings
• ChunkX / ChunkZ &ndash; Center chunk coordinates (use Ctrl + F3 in-game)

⏰ Time &amp; Timezones

This mod uses server system time, not in-game time.

• If your server runs in UTC, your reset times are also UTC
• If your server uses a local timezone, resets follow that timezone

If times don&rsquo;t match your expectations, verify your server timezone or adjust your configuration accordingly.

🔔 Warnings

Players will receive warnings before a reset:

• 30 minutes
• 15 minutes
• 5 minutes
• 1 minute

Warnings are sent in chat and are designed to prevent accidental item loss.

---

⚠️ Important Notes

• Chunks are deleted and regenerated when reloaded
• If players are inside the area during reset, regeneration will be cancelled until next planned reset. A warning is also sent mentionning this.
• It is recommended to leave the area before reset

💡 Use Cases

• Regenerating mining areas
• Resetting farming zones
• Maintaining renewable resource regions
• Resetting story locations so admins do not have to do it themselves on a consistent basis
• Server economy balancing

2. Place it in your server /Mods folder

📌 Tips

• Use small radii first to test behavior. The more zones you schedule, the more taxing it is for the server stability. Same thing for the radius.
• Double-check your timezone before going live
• Watch server logs for scheduled execution
